Controversial troll-bait thread is controversial troll-bait. I think my Gibson's worth every cent, you are now wrong.

not troll-baiting, but just referring you to an article by gibson president, Henry Juszkiewicz:

"I said we are going to increase prices. Prices were ridiculously low. And people said, the price has been decreasing 20% a year, how can you reverse that? I said I'm just going to double the prices on a lot of models. I actually tested it and got an inverse price curve. Basically it showed that every time I raised prices a certain amount, volume would go up."
